Gaborone in five emoji

What each emoji refers to

💎

Botswana negotiated a half share of its diamond output with De Beers, which is why the money stayed.

🏜️

The Kalahari covers roughly seventy per cent of the country, including most of the land around the city.

🕵️

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency novels are set here and have done more for the city's name abroad than anything else.

🐘

Botswana has the largest elephant population of any country, concentrated in the north around Chobe.

🌵

The Kalahari is thornbush and grass rather than dune, and it supports far more life than the word desert suggests.
